Plus size model Kaisa Henriikka, originally from Finland, was planning a birthday for herself to London for a night out.

Chatting with a club promoter on Instagram, she said she would be bringing some friends with her on the special occasion.

Kaisa was asked if she’d be bringing any of her plus-size friends with her as it was likely to affect their chances of getting into the establishments.

He added that if there were more than three ‘curvy’ friends, they’d be turned away.

Kaisa has posted evidence of the conversation on her Instagram where she has a 21,000-strong following.

Kaisa posted the reply from a Mayfair club promoter on her Instagram stories.

It showed a text conversation between her and the promoter where they said: ‘One last question – are all the guests plus-size models, we are not trying to be rude but we know for a fact some clubs can be funny and we do not want to send you there. If it’s two to three girls in your group that is fine, hope you understand.’

The promoter then told her it is a request made by the clubs and not them.

‘I am just telling you what they told us as a company we do not want to send you there and you not get in,’ he added.

To which Kaisa replied: ‘So you only want skinny people in your clubs?’

After she revealed the exchange between them, Kaisa showed further screenshots from the club promoters who’d left nice comments calling her beautiful on her account.

Plus-size pages have since come to Kaisa’s aid, telling her to ignore the haters. Style and Curve Magazine reposted Kaisa’s conversation along with the caption: ‘This is why we need to address the fat-shaming issue. Thinking of how many plus size women don’t dare enjoy their lives because they are scared of getting fat-shamed.

Kaisa was overwhelmed with positive messages and said: ‘I am literally getting messages every five mins from all over the world, the support for me fighting for plus size women is insane!’

The Instagram account Guestlist_Vip_Birthday_Tables which Kaisa spoke to has been contacted for comment.
